Since I switched from Airbnb to Booking for vacation apartment rentals about a year ago, I have had some great experiences in different cities.
I don't see how it would be different for my adopted city, Barcelona.
Here is why:
1- You have the best price guaranteed
It is more than rare to find a better price for one of the 2000 apartments in Barcelona on another platform, but even if you get there, Booking.com has a policy price match guaranteed.
These few euros saved will be better invested in one of the best restaurants in Barcelona for example.
2- 123,550,000 comments cannot lie

The result is a classification of the most democratic et informative, which greatly limits surprises.
3- you will have enormous flexibility
Very restrictive cancellation conditions imposed by owners on sites like Airbnb make it difficult to change your itinerary.
With Booking you will find many accommodations with free cancellation et without deposit.
4- The advantages

Depending on the accommodation, you could also benefit from:

Why rent an apartment in Barcelona for your holidays?
Whenever I am in a new city, I first look at the vacation apartments on offer for the following reasons:
- You can do whatever you want. When you rent an apartment, you can decide when to come and go, you can invite friends to dinner, etc.
- You have more space compared to a hotel room. It really is something to highlight, especially if you are traveling to Barcelona with children or with a group of friends, etc.
- You have a kitchen! Another very important point. Once you've sold out the best restaurants in Barcelona, you may want something cheaper and healthier.
- It is less expensive and generally of a much higher quality than a hotel, especially if you book with Booking.
